And while we're at it, what's your opinion of pancakes and French toast?

French toast is superior to both. Waffles and pancakes are just meh.

I like waffles and pancakes but I'm not a fan of french toast.

Waffles are king, pancakes are solid, French toast is kinda tricksy.

One of these days I'mma buy a cast iron waffle maker cause all the electric ones I've tried ate shit after a few months of regular use.

Now pancakes are solid as they're easy to make and it only takes a bit of practice to cook them right.

Pancake Pro-Tip: If you wanna make a home made hot pocket, make a pancake batter recipe with a bit less liquid and a bit more flour to thicken it up (if you've got the time, cool the mix down in a fridge for a while to help with thickening). Cook up the pocket's guts and set to the side, pour some batter on the skillet and let it cook long enough to get some bubbles in the center (lets you know that the bottom should be cooked well enough), spoon some guts into the center, and then ladle on some more batter over the top to cover the guts. By then, the bottom should be well set and you can flip it over without too much trouble.

French Toast... gotta have the cheapest whitest bread around or really crusty french bread. The dense loaves of like, multi grain style bread, never seem to soak up the egg mixture enough to really be satisfying.

I love french toast so much! When I make it at home… I whisk some eggs, milk and Cinnamon… splash the bread on both sides and let it sizzle… I also make a ton extra and freeze the left overs so when I don’t want to destroy my kitchen with mess and dishes.. I can just throw em from the freezer into my toaster and bam! Instant awesome breakkie!

When I make pancakes I use the Jiffy mix recipe for waffles cause I find their thicker and fluff up as opposed to being flat lifeless disks…

Pancakes, waffles, French toast, in that order. Waffles are amazing, but nothing beats an old fashioned diner pancake with butter and syrup.

Won't eat 'em: way too carbie.

I might, tennis too.

Where's the Harold & Kumar Wafflebot when you need'em?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Of the three, I like certain kinds of pancakes the best. I don't care for the other two.

[–] rgb3x3@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Waffles > French Toast > > > Pancakes.

Pancakes just turn into a gelatinous mess after a minute and make you feel like shit for eating them. They're a dessert, not a breakfast.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Pancakes are consistent. French toast is the least consistent. Waffles are the middle ground. At their peaks, the best French roast is better than the best waffles and those are better than the best pancakes, but at their worst it is flipped.

So somewhere new pancakes can be reliable.

Love them, especially when they're nice and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Lather it in butter and pour on the maple syrup. Can't get enough.

Best recipe I've found for pancakes (I use kefir instead of buttermilk), better than any mix I've bought, and great tips for perfecting for pancakes:

Otherwise pancakes are often kinda meh, and I apparently don't like maple syrup enough for it to redeem all pancakes.

French toast is tasty but I haven't perfected or found a great recipe. Waffles requires yet another kitchen appliance which just isn't happening right now. Which means it all depends on the restaurant.

Aren't buttermilk and kefir basically the same thing? Now I haven't had american buttermilk so I can't really give my opinion on the matter, but I've heard something or the other about them being the same thing.

Edit: found the video https://youtu.be/xTiKv5-lJvM?feature=shared 8:20

They're pretty similar; kefir, buttermilk, and yogurt are all kinda the same thing. In the US what you get at the grocery store is probably going to be standardized around different textures and flavors though. And in the case of yogurt, 50 percent sugar and added random flavors.

All of the above. With sausage or bacon or ham, scrambled eggs (well done; runny eggs are a conspiracy to torment innocent tastebuds), and hashbrowns.
